[POLL] - American Idol - Do you watch?

I used to watch it for the awful people, but there's too many people on there now that are obviously only on there for their 15 minutes.

The show must hire some people as well, I don't see why they wouldn't. Pay some bad people to come on and sing really bad, then cry when they get shut down to boost ratings.
 
I don't have a source, but I heard this season will focus more on good talent and less on the horrible people on there just to meet the judges. The article I read cited that crazy lady that was on the show as a reject but was stalking Paula Abdul and then ended up killing herself outside her house.

That being said, no or little rejects = not watching.
 
Yeah cant believe some of these people get upset when they get told they suck, they actually think they're good.
 
This show is beyond pointless. If they want to find new talent, at least make they come up with their own damn songs.
 
Your poll is full of fail.
There are many people who only watch the end. Voted "Something else"

I only watch it when they're in the "final 10" or "final 5", which is usually by 2nd week of May.
Back then I would be done with school, and would have moved back home.

I haven't watched it in almost 2 years though.
 
I don't watch it but I overhear it on TV. Horrible. They call that noise they make with their mouth, singing?

Canadian Idol is just as bad. Celin Dion wannabies LOL.
 
That show's fake as hell and Simon Cow's beyond mean. Somebody should stab him in the face w/ a microphone.
 
beginning for the awful auditions and the occasional eye candy.

end for the eye candy and fast forward through the rest. no more eye candy, then i stop watching.
 
Nope. I saw some parts of earlier seasons when my daughter used to watch it, but I haven't seen it in years, and have no desire to.

1. "I have one thing to say to the voters: What in the hell is wrong with you people?"

That's all I have to contribute to this thread.
 
I watched season 1 fully with the wife. All other seasons up to last year I either watched the first 2 or 3 weeks, then quit. Last year I really enjoyed David Cook, so I actually watched all the way through. The wife and I will probably watch this year until there are no more people I enjoy watching.

Just because they can sing doesn't mean they can write.
